St. Leonard’s best kept secret. This walled orchard contains the ruins of a nursery school built in the garden of the teacher in the early 1900’s and destroyed by incendiary bombs in the 1943 raids in Exeter. Neglected for many years, the ruins have been made safe and the land restored and enhanced to create an orchard and garden haven for wildlife. Come and see the ‘before’ photographs and enjoy this hidden gem.
